We consider that the values we obtained are more reliable in reference to dimensional ratios between the vertebral-disk elements than the ones obtained by the old formula, namely the direct ratio of the
intervertebral disk height and the corresponding vertebral body height.
Case-control study of the risk factors of lumbar
intervertebral disk herniation in 5 northern provinces of China.
--presence of root and neurogenic pains caused by recurrent hernia of the
intervertebral disk or spinal channel degenerative stenosis without effect of conservative therapy
Benign notochordal cell tumor, chordomas, notochordal vestiges of the
intervertebral disk, and ecchordosis physaliphora are all lesions of notochordal origin that share similar histologic and immunohistochemical characteristics.
Therefore, it was shown that the flexion of the trunk could determine the weakening of the fibrous ring if the tension is mainly localized in the posterior side of the
intervertebral disk. Also, if the length of the ring fibres increases by 4%, the ring will be deteriorated.
The Relative sensitivity of computed tomography and myelography for identification of thoracolumbar
intervertebral disk herniations in dogs.
The volume concludes with some discussions of likely future developments in such areas as
intervertebral disk repair and restoration of spinal cord function.
The study included 22 healthy volunteers (mean age, 34 years; weight 67 kg; height 169 cm) with no history of back pain or surgery who underwent measurements of lumbar lordosis angles,
intervertebral disk heights, and translation of the nucleus pulposus using a 0.6-tesla whole-body, positional MRI scanner.
Intervertebral disk material: criteria for determining probable prolapse.
AKU is caused by the deficiency of the homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase enzyme which results in excretion of large quantities of homogentisic acid (HGA) in the urine and a slowly progressive deposition of HGA and its oxidative product in cartilage,
intervertebral disk and other connective tissues, leading to ochronotic arthropathy.
